For The Cynical And Skeptical Among Us

Back on the contraception front, two stray thoughts vex me.

1. Did Obama need this fight in order to re-bond with the anti-religious left? Maybe his evolution on endorsing gay marriage has been deferred until after the election, so he needed to establish his anti-church cred with this.

2. We write of Missing Persons - in the tick-tock about the decision-making process on the contraception rule and the narrow religious exemption, we hear about Kathleen Sebelius, Melody Barnes, and Valerie Jarrett,all of whom have obvious roles to play based ontheir position in the org chart.

But nowhere do we learn whether a woman who once pulled down $300,000 per year to advise a hospital on public health issues chimed in on this debate. Given her background, why wouldn't she? (And does anyone doubt where she would come out?)

Has anyone else noticed that Gallup has changed their front page layout to remove the 'information at a glance' menu? You can still dig out the information but the jump in unemployment doesn't hit you in the eye when buried. They were at 8.7% when the 8.3% BLS number was published. They edged up to 9.1% two days ago before settling back to 8.9% - briefly.

For the men in the crowd, if you have never seen Liselotte (Lilo) Pulver, Swiss actress, in Billy Wilder's "One, Two, Three" you have missed her in her sexiest role. Throughout her career, she played a wide variety of characters and was noted for her natural beauty and joyful spirit.
Wilder's film with James Cagney, Arlene Francis and Horst Buchholz is not to be missed.

I do not know which is worse, the fact that this clown has a degree from Princeton or the fact that she was paid $300k a year for "advising a hospital". She degrades and corrupts everything she touches.

And we wonder why we have the economic, political and moral problems that we have. It is the mark of a very sick society. That hospital "salary" amounts to little graft and thievery.

This is just the exact same sort of corrupt, incompetent nomenklatura that the Soviets had, only it is broader and palmier. It is easily the more surreal. It is most likely the more evil.

The Obamas are a manifestation of deep moral and social pathologies. There is no reality to them. It is as though they are not human beings. Like wraiths, like hallucinations, they are. They should not even be allowed to run a hardware store, let alone the nation, yet here we are. They are exemplars of their "class" and their generation: utterly incompetent fakes consumed with arrogance, narcissism and nihilism. This class rules us now, and is likely to rules us for at least another generation. Sometimes it seems that it will take an act of God to dislodge or survive them.

These are the people who will decide our health care issues? Do not tell me that they will deny services to their enemies.

This seems to escape some. Those who so loudly shriek to in the defense of the abortion of unborn innocents, who would villainize and defame those who hold what is hardly a controversial religious belief, are the same people who would control our health care system.

These people belong in jail or an mental ward. Truly, the world is being run by the insane.

Princeton should be ashamed of itself, but it is now far beyond shame.

The nation should be ashamed of itself. How degraded and decadent we are to even such people the time of day, let alone give them the keys to the WH.
